About This Game

Leave the window somewhere on your desktop and watch as an android named Lyse continues with her research in a post-apocalyptic world. Her job is to collect microbe samples; your job is to lend a hand when you can. If you're looking for a simple game you can keep running on the corner of your screen which you can play with whenever you're free, this is the game for you.

What you can do:

・Click on microbes to help collect them

※ Lending a hand will help increase research levels faster

・Update laboratory facilities using coins

・Salvage for junk by clicking on Lyse

※ You can "fish" for just using a magnet

・Look through your collection of microbes and junk in your Archive

Game details:

・Leave the game in a corner of your desktop and play whenever you like

・Retro inspired pixel art and occasional chiptune music

・The variety of microbes you can find will increase as research levels rise

・Salvaged junk will be converted to coins automatically

・Your facilities are simple; just a salvage magnet, Bait dispenser and a tank to collect microbes

※ Your lab equipment can be automated from the beginning

・Lyse may be hiding a secret……

You can change Lyse's appearance.

Once your research levels reach 10, you are able to unlock Skins.

Change Lyse's appearance to your favorite Skin and continue with the research.

Lastly:

・This game doesn't have an objective

・There are no fancy functions such as a ToDo list or a Pomodoro timer

・There is no large-scale, dramatic storyline to follow

・Lyse's diary entries will tell you a little more about the world she is in

 

・Once your archives are full, there will be a small ending

・Enjoy the game at your leisure

・Have fun in the post-apocalyptic world

Bonus:

・You might find easter eggs from other worlds created by Skipmore, such as “Kamiko” and “Transiruby.”
